This workshop is aimed at helping you to get the most from your images with the potential to licence and sell them through image libraries & other stock suppliers. It will show you how you can make your images more competitive and be more productive when shooting.

You will also learn about the various licensing agreements available, the creative process in creating stock images. This will include in-depth advice on concept creation, models, locations, release requirements, submission standards, keywording and good practice in post-production.

Workshop details
Licences: micro-stock, royalty free (RF) and rights managed (RM).
The pros and cons of these licence models offered by libraries and what it means to you as a photographer.

Concept creation: what to shoot and why?
Coming up with concepts and how to shoot images that sell.
Briefs- what is needed in the market?

Shoot production:
Models - how to find and choose models and getting the most from them on the day.
Location - shooting effectively on location especially when travelling.
Equipment - cameras and lighting production techniques and examples.

The workshop is aimed at all levels of photographic experience. No experience needed, though particularly suited to photographers who already actively shooting images that might have a stock value.
It won’t be possible to give individual advice on suitable images though the talk will hopefully give you enough information to make those image choices yourself.
